Who's online permissions: hide location?

[ceho]

No, he is not, only in that specific usergroup (which is the normal registered users by the way). And I know from many other registered users that they can see the location as well, although the setting says they can't.

Edit: I just tested another registered user account, it's the same, they can see it.

To exclude a problem with skin I use: I checked the issue using the dafult style, it's the same.

OK, well to do it the template way... open up the template whosonlinebit and find this:

    <td class="alt2" width="35%">
        <div>
            <span style="float:$stylevar[right]">
                <if condition="$show['lockedout']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/wol_lockedout.gif" alt="$vbphrase[viewing_forum_closed]" /></if>
                <if condition="$show['nopermission']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/wol_nopermission.gif" alt="$vbphrase[viewing_no_permission_message]" /></if>
                <if condition="$show['errormessage']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/wol_error.gif" alt="$vbphrase[viewing_error_message]" /></if>
                <if condition="$show['reallocation']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/question_icon.gif" alt="$userinfo[location]" /></if>
            </span>
            $userinfo[action]
        </div>
        <if condition="$show['where']">
            <div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:1px">
                <if condition="$show['subscribed']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/subscribed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[you_are_subscribed_to_this_thread]" /></if>
                $userinfo[where]
            </div>
        </if>
    </td>

To disallow registered users and guests from seeing that and just put 'nothing' in that spot, change it to this:

    <td class="alt2" width="35%">
<if condition="$show['member'] AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2)">
        <div>
            <span style="float:$stylevar[right]">
                <if condition="$show['lockedout']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/wol_lockedout.gif" alt="$vbphrase[viewing_forum_closed]" /></if>
                <if condition="$show['nopermission']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/wol_nopermission.gif" alt="$vbphrase[viewing_no_permission_message]" /></if>
                <if condition="$show['errormessage']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/wol_error.gif" alt="$vbphrase[viewing_error_message]" /></if>
                <if condition="$show['reallocation']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/question_icon.gif" alt="$userinfo[location]" /></if>
            </span>
            $userinfo[action]
        </div>
        <if condition="$show['where']">
            <div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:1px">
                <if condition="$show['subscribed']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/subscribed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[you_are_subscribed_to_this_thread]" /></if>
                $userinfo[where]
            </div>
        </if>
<else />
&nbsp;
</if>
    </td>

You could also do it by plugin if you don't want to edit templates (just set those two variables to nothing if a member of usergroup 2).

Please post a print screen of the edit user page showing the primairy and secondary usergroups for the user "Jeroen".

@ Lynne: it worked (of course ;-)), although there now is am empyt column which makes users ask what happened. Is there any chance to hide that column?

Why not just put "Unknown" in that column. You could remove the column, but it would mean editing other templates also - the one with the column heading. If you want to go that route, to find that template to edit, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)
